What is the best lettuce for wraps?

baby romaine
mature romaine
Boston / bibb / butterhead lettuce

These are the best lettuce varieties for a smaller, Asian lettuce wrap because they have rigid leaves that can hold the weight of the filling when you lift it with your hand.

If you're looking for the best lettuce to make sandwich wraps, as in a lettuce wrapped sandwich, you want a larger red or green leaf lettuce. It will be larger in size and more pliable, so it won't snap when you fold it.

How to cut lettuce for lettuce wraps

Cut off the core of a lettuce head (can be 1-3" from the end, depending on the type of lettuce).
Separate the leaves, rinse, and allow to dry.
Store the lettuce leaves loosely in a sealed container and refrigerate until ready to use.

What's the best Teriyaki sauce?

I prefer a reduced-sodium sauce (nothing new there) but am most familiar with the Soy Vay brand as well as Trader Joe's Soyaki Sauce. These are great if you're in a hurry and don't want to make your own.

How to serve lettuce wraps

Teriyaki chicken lettuce wrap tips

Keep the prepared filling separate from the lettuce pieces until you're ready to serve. Scoop the filling into the lettuce wrap as you go.

When entertaining, assemble the wraps, plate them, cover, and refrigerate a few hours before serving.

You can also do a self-serve lettuce wrap "bar" during casual events. People will love helping themselves to these!
